labview user interface-creating property nodes automatically

[k-waris]

Wonder if following is possible!

I have an array of system ring controls. These ring controls are to be populated with ten values which could be achieved using strings[] property. The values are loaded from the rows of a csv file. If size of rows was fixed and known, I would use for loop and drive case structure using for loop's iteration terminal and use property node on the front panel for each ring control within its position in the array and it would all be fine.

Unfortunately, I am having to work with csv file which is regularly populated and user interface is not to be changed. I have lost my brain cells thinking over it and I do not think it is achievable! Any comments?

First, in an array the various ring controls can't have different items in their strings.

Second, on the block diagram an array of rings is just an array of integers and you update it the same way that you would update any array of integers.

Have you thought about using a cluster of system ring controls instead of an array? Visually, it's nearly indistinguishable from an array and you can individually set the Ring Strings for each cluster element. Operationally, you can use Cluster to Array and have minimal effect on any existing code.

Any advices to achieve similar functionality? What about using combo box. Combo box have similar property strings[]. I am so sorry knowing too little about labview controls!

It sounds like the very first thing you need to do is learn more about LabVIEW. Have you gone through all the online tutorials?
